Sentences, With a Halloween Twist

My students have been learning the four kinds of sentences. They're getting pretty good at naming the 4 kinds (Statement, Question, Command, Exclamation) and can easily identify that they all should begin with a capital and end with punctuation. However, when I say a sentence (or when they read one) they're still working at figuring out what kind of sentence it is. So I decided to take matters into my own hands, in a fun way, with a Halloween Twist!

I made this activity with lots of sentences of each kind. Of course, each of the sentences has something to do with Halloween! I used mostly Dolch words, but I added some of their favorite Halloween words. (They always remember those, don't they?)

I made some sorting cards, with reminders of each kind of sentence, along with 28 sentences. I also added a few other activities to do with the same sentences, based on the Common Core for grades 2 and 3 including realistic or fantasy and complete sentence or sentence fragment. I think they're going to love it! Click HERE or any of the images for a link to this resource.

Here's a little movie to give you an idea how it's used!

I also made a freebie sample with some of the sentences and a sorting activity for complete sentences and sentence fragments. You can download that activity HERE or click the image below!
